The trailer for Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, the new six-part series from Prime Video, has been released. Documenting the singer’s “transformative” journey into motherhood, the show premieres next month.
The documentary series, which was announced in May, will follow the former Little Mix member as she navigates “the highs and lows” of pregnancy, all while reflecting on her departure from the band in 2020.
Ahead of its premiere on 13 February, the streamer has released the first trailer for the documentary, with the teaser beginning with Jesy sharing that she wanted to tell her “side of the story”.
“Spending life in the public eye for over a decade as one fourth of pop phenomenon Little Mix, Jesy has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Now, she’s ready to share her truth like never before,” reads the logline (via Prime Video).

“Expecting twins, Jesy opens up about the joy, vulnerability and fear that comes with carrying two little lives. The series follows Jesy through the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy complications, including Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome.”
“But this journey isn’t just about motherhood – she needs to confront her past, too. She will open up about the life-altering decision to leave Little Mix in 2020, breaking her silence on the relentless pressures of fame, her battle with mental health, and the controversies that followed.”
Upon the announcement of the project, Jesy said: “We opened the doors fully and I’m really looking forward to letting you all in as I navigate my way to becoming a first time mum to our beautiful baby girls, Ocean and Story.

“I’ll be honest, it’s not been easy as it’s been such a high risk pregnancy, so you’ll see all the highs and lows and rollercoaster of emotions we have been going through. I hope you will all join me on this journey as I really open up and say goodbye to the past.”
Jesy announced on 18 May that her daughters, who she welcomed with Zion Foster, had been born prematurely at 31 weeks and five days. Earlier this month, she confirmed that they had been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy.
Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix will premiere on Prime Video on 13 February.
